Industrial designer & maker based in Rotterdam, bridging technical thinking with visual creativity.
I am an industrial product designer and digital artist with a strong interest in making things real.
My work sits somewhere between design, engineering and visual art. I enjoy taking an idea from a sketch or concept, researching references, developing the form, building a prototype and eventually turning it into something physical and functional.
I'm most comfortable somewhere between a designer and a maker: I care deeply about aesthetics, but I also want to understand how things work, how they're made and how different technologies can be combined into a complete object.
INDUSTRIAL + PRODUCT DESIGNER
Design is never created in isolation. I believe in learning from what already exists, studying references, understanding the work of others and combining those accumulated ideas into something new.
I enjoy the process of connecting knowledge from different fields and using it to create things that I could not have made from a single discipline alone.
Being willing to step into unfamiliar territory, learn what's needed and keep building until the idea becomes real.
Study references, materials, mechanisms and existing solutions before deciding how something should be made.
Use sketches, illustration, visual references and concept design to explore what an object could become.
Turn ideas into CAD models, electronics, 3D-printed parts and physical prototypes as early as possible.
Test, modify and iterate until aesthetics, function, usability and manufacturability begin to work together.
Product development, form exploration, CAD modelling, material research, CMF and physical prototyping.
My path did not begin with industrial design. I initially explored hardware engineering, but eventually realised that I wanted a field where technical thinking and visual creativity could coexist.
Industrial and product design became a natural middle ground: a discipline where form, function, materials, manufacturing and visual communication are all part of the same process.
Today, I am gradually moving toward the technical side again. Electronics, embedded systems, mechanical properties, material testing and fabrication have become increasingly important parts of my learning and personal projects.
I'd rather understand how different technologies fit together and how they can become part of a complete, usable product than memorise every component parameter.
Composition, graphic design, aesthetics and visual systems.
Electronics, embedded systems, Arduino, ESP32 and electrical fundamentals.
3D printing, materials, fabrication and physical prototyping.
Illustration, character drawing, concept design and visual communication.
AI-assisted coding and technical workflows, using AI as an implementation tool while keeping human judgement, taste and direction at the centre.
I want industrial design to remain my main professional direction while continuing to develop as a maker and illustrator.
In the long term, I want to become increasingly capable of taking an idea all the way from concept and visual development to electronics, software, mechanical structure, sourcing and a finished physical prototype.
At the same time, I want to keep drawing and visual work as a second identity rather than let technical work replace it.
The goal is simple: take ideas seriously enough to build them, and stay curious enough to keep making new ones...
I loveeeees retro-futurism!! When everything around us gets flattened into minimalism and cold, clinical design, people get quantified and products lose their emotion and personality. Just like people who love Y2K or get drawn into the Backrooms; I'm curious about how style evolved from the Cold War era through the end of the last century. It's a traceable, constantly-mutating aesthetic that keeps reshaping itself with the society and culture around it. That's what fascinates me.
Primary-color triad as design grammar: the overlapping red/yellow/blue dots in the navbar, the tri-color bars beside the headline. Geometry as a moral framework.
Systematic grids, numbered modules, uppercase micro-labels. Copy written like instrument markings: MODULE_01, ENTRY_001, DATA_UPLINK.
Green phosphor, scanlines, magnetic tape, barcodes, boot terminals. The CRT is the site's true material: every screen here is a warmed-up monitor.
Mission-control telemetry: lat/lon coordinates, LED segment meters, hex grid, particle networks. The page reads itself like an instrument panel.
Dark screen + green system logs, the hacker-terminal mood. The accidental fifth dialect: it arrived with the dark theme and never left.
Frosted-glass cards floating over paper, neumorphic buttons pressed out of the background with soft double shadows and inner highlights. This site's light mode: the project cards blur what's behind them, the ACCESS button is moulded from the paper itself.
